       "Rachel Gould is an American jazz singer, now resident in the UK having
spent many years living in Holland. As such, the maturity and experience that
she brings to her profession is considerable. A singer who has recorded with
Chet Baker amongst others, proved at the Pizza Express Jazz Club, that she is up
there amongst the best."

Sal Nistico's explosive tenor solos with Woody Herman in the mid-'60s helped
make that edition of Herman's Herd into a success. Originally an altoist,
Nistico switched to tenor in 1956 and played with R&B bands for three years. He
gigged with and made his recording debut in 1959-1960 with the Jazz Brothers, a
band also including Chuck and Gap Mangione. But it was while with Herman in
1962-1965 that Nistico made history. In 1965, he spent five months with Count
Basie. He returned to Basie in 1967 and to Herman on several occasions
(1968-1970, 1971, 1981-1982), although without the impact of the first stint.
Otherwise, the tenor freelanced throughout his career, playing with Don Ellis
and Buddy Rich but mostly working with pick-up groups. Nistico recorded for
several labels as a leader including Riverside, Red, and Beehive. ~ Scott Yanow
